today hugh told me that he wants a backpack. i've known for awhile that he wants one, he tries to turn every bag into a backpack. so i thought "why not? i'll get the boy a backpack". so i ask "what kind would you like? do you want anything on it?"

he replies: "i want a purple backpack. with eyes on it."

?????

"oh, you mean like dora's?"

"yes."
